Wet and coolish (27C) morning here in Phuket, so a beef and mushroom pie for lunch was called for. What to have with it though? A small cabbage at the bottom of the fridge winked at me, but how to cook it to make it interesting? A cabbage surprise ensued.
First off, discarded the outer layer of cabbage then cut into wedges. Into some salted water and simmered for 15 minutes before being strained and put into the bottom of an ovenproof dish.
Peeled and chopped up an onion and a carrot, sauteed in some oil and butter with crushed garlic for the same time as the cabbage cooked.
and spread over the top of the cabbage.
Put drops of tomato puree, and a scattering of smoked hot paprika added next.
before a liberal grating of parmesan, then cheddar to top off.
into a 180C oven for 20 minutes, along with the defrosted pie from the freezer, and all good.
Quite a decent veg bake, and went OK with the pie.

Busy morning today. Wife at her aunts so ordered a spicy fried rice with egg and washed it down with an ice cold Hoegaarden watching the baseball game

Back to Chicken with green peppers and garlic and black bean
in with the nooden
What parts of the chicken are you using?
It's looks like the Cambodian style of gristle, bones and tendons.
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs marinaded. Only people who plan on living a dull long life opt for eating chicken breast
Was time to do up a batch of kid (and Lulu) friendly chicken breasts in breadcrumbs, to have in the deep freeze for emergencies.
5 breasts, each cut into 4. That equals 20 total pieces if me toes and fingers aren't playing tricks on me.
Boxes of flour, beaten eggs, breadcrumbs with S&P and Italian herbs.
Deep fat frier.
One into the flour, lid on shake.
Into the egg wash, turn.
Into the breadcrumbs, lid on and shake the Lulu out of it.
Into the deep fat frier.
By the time the next one is prepped and ready to rock n roll the first one is just about done.
Remove onto rack, nick the deepest part to make sure it's cooked through. Next one in.
Cool on racks, 2 into each freezer bag.
T'would be rude not to have a taster.
Deelisherous.
To be served with:
Mash and gravy.
In a wrap with iceberg and mayo
Pasta with ragu sauce
Rice and Jap curry
Top with marinara sauce, cheese, and into the oven.
Tin of beans and chips.
Sliced with some spicy Thai sauce as a late night beer snack.
With a salad for lunch
etc etc.
Ah shure, if I was any grayer I'd be a slab of slate. :/
Some great work on the last couple of pages - everyone cooks a lot better than I do...
The wife did a green curry chicken today that was ok, but not one of her finer efforts. The eggplant in Korea isn't to my liking, so I prefer it with green beans.
It is what it is... I'll be having the same tomorrow for lunch, cooked freshly, but asked her to make it a bit spicier.
Cycling should be banned!!!
Yeah, gotta say it doesn’t look that appetising.
Those look absolutely great, and yes, would be good with anything, though I'm erring towards a sweet chilli sauce dip. Here's a recipe if you fancy some homemade stuff (I've used her recipes before, and they work). Thai Sweet Chili Sauce Recipe & Video Tutorial นำ้จิ้มไก่
With our pending trip back to the wine country coming up for my Moms service, my wife is going with me this trek and with that it requires she has her comfort food plus she is making up sauces to cook for my Dad.
This is her Pad Thai sauce. She will vacuum seal and freeze and toss in a suitcase. While my Dad loves her curry dishes, Pad Thai is 2nd fav.
Being she made up everything, Pad Thai Goong was on the menu for lunch while I had a beer watching the game. Pissed off a bit, Giants lost and Dodgers whooped the Rockies. Giants back to 3rd now by .5 a game.
^ looks good, Stumpy (I'll overlook the crap beer and crap baseball team...)
America's finest sliced cheese topped with naturally square ham and sprinkled with chopped onion from le fridge. All gently toasted until it made a mess.
Served with a cool, refreshing drink.

^ I prefer grilled in a pan rather than using one of those sandwich machine things. What did you use the knife and fork for?
